@AntiCommieBecca Over where I live we tend to like minorities so we don’t really have that problem too much. But the male/female thing is still sticky because the Bible ‘seems’ to restrict women.

@Grump_Old_Man Everyone who is learning, sits in silence and listens. What’s the point? And one learns in order to use and disseminate what they’ve learned. Do you think Paul is forbidding women to teach truth to the other half of the body? His purp...

@Moppybottoms @KaeleyT The short answer is any role where a woman is in a position of authority over a man. Many believe Gen 2-3 establishes male authority and female submission, 1Co 14:34-35 commands women to respect that authority by remaining sil...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 If the faith of Hymenaeus and Alexander was “shipwrecked” does this mean they are still considered saved? If so, why doesn’t Paul just bench them in the church? Why does he kick them out if...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 Where are you getting this permanence from? The Holy Spirit is always a seal of the future promises of God. Can a seal not be broken? Scripture says: if we deny Him, He will deny us. Do y...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 So are you saying there is no such thing as falling away from the faith? Or are you just saying that anyone who falls away or sins unrepentantly was never truly a believer? If the latter, w...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 Jesus and the apostles talk in such a way as to not presume someone is eternally saved (and can’t be lost) just because they made a profession. Do you believe Ananias and Sapphira went pea...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 Ok, this is better. So you admit that you still sin? I still fail daily and I’m working on improving where I’m falling short. This is part of sanctification (not salvation). Yes, Jesus cove...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 So if you change your mind, do you keep doing it? If you thought fornication was great and you change your mind, do you continue thinking fornication is great and keep practicing it? Queue...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody Head is not being used in the sense of “the righteous boss over someone.” You are importing your modern notions of this term and how we use it into the text. Jesus is God but there is no notion of the husband being the “r...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody No, it’s not meant to convey both senses at the same time. Does Jesus as God have all authority? Absolutely! But scripture doesn’t ever describe the man Jesus as ever taking authority over His bride. He does remove “lamp...

@TheRednartso @HolyHomebody You assume ‘head’ means authority or boss, but in Scripture, it often means ‘source.’ Christ is the source of His body’s life. The husband is head of his wife as marriage reflects Adam and Eve in Eden and Adam’s flesh an...
